Hey friends! Today I’m sharing my Holiday tablescape for 2018. I’m doing a mercury glass theme throughout my home for the holiday season this year. I have to admit it – I love shiny things and I have a slight obsession with mercury glass!
My Holiday tablescape is part of the Christmas Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by Chloe at Celebrate & Decorate!
I’m joining 20+ other super-talented bloggers to bring you a beautiful and eclectic mix of Christmas tablescapes to inspire your best holiday tablescape ever! It’s going on all week with a few new tablescapes added each day. You can check out all the tablescapes through the links at the end of the post!
Now on to my holiday tablescape!
It all started when I found
I’ve collected mercury glass ornaments over the years, but I’ve never noticed any other types of Christmas decorations made out of mercury glass until this year – they’re all over the place!
I buy all of my mercury glass ornaments on Amazon. They have the best prices I’ve found so far (excluding sales).
I used some of my mercury glass ornaments in my tablescape centerpiece to complement the trees. I also used pine cones that I spray painted silver in the centerpiece and on top of my plates.
The silver star and bead garland is also from Hobby Lobby.
The greenery is a fresh cedar garland that I got from Lowe’s. Some of my blogger friends get their fresh garland from Costco, but they don’t seem to carry it here in our area.
Yay for white plates! I love Christmas themed plates, but I haven’t found any at flea markets as of yet. Holiday themed plates is just something I can’t bring myself to spend big money on at the stores when I’m only going to bring them out once a year. But I’m going to watch the sales after Christmas this year!
Aren’t those crochet napkins the bomb? I got them on Amazon too. What would we do without Hobby Lobby and Amazon (besides saving a lot of money)? 😉
I decorated my hutch with more cedar garland and flameless candles.
Pine cone soup anyone? 🙂
I recently painted my chandelier, and I really like how it looks decorated up with cedar garland and mercury glass ornaments.
I made up a vintage wine bottle display on my wine bar. I love the wine cork fairy lights! They sure beat the heck out of having to cut into the wine bottle to put the lights in.
That’s it for me! Please be sure to check out all the tablescapes in the blog hop through the links below!

Thanks for stopping by to check out my tablescape! Happy Holidays!
Michelle, this is so pretty! Leyland cypress is the way to go for decorating with greens. They’re not messy (sappy) like pine, and they lay so nicely. The pinecones, little lights, all white china – very, very nice. And the hutch is styled beautifully. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Thanks so much Rita! A very merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
Gorgeous Michelle, Your pictures speak a thousand words, no text required! I love the shimmer and twinkle of the mercury glass trees, ornaments on your chandy and soft glow from the candles. Beautiful for Christmas of enjoying after the holidays for winter. Fun blogging with you this week, Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much Mary! Merry Christmas to you too!
I love all of the fresh greenery and the natural look with all of the pine cones. Your table looks like a picture perfect country Christmas straight out of a magazine. Who needs Christmas plates when you let nature do all of the work. How in the heck did you find 6 perfect pine cones all the same size, that sit so straight?!?! This is a beautiful table! Thanks for joining the hop!
Thank you so much Ann! Your comment about the pine cones got me laughing! I use pine cones a LOT in my Christmas decorating and I have two storage bins full of them. I dug through the bins for a good 15 minutes trying to match up 6 that were the same size and stood up halfway straight to use in the dishes. If they didn’t set up perfectly straight, I’d pull some of the scales off of the bottoms until they would sit up straight. So happy to be hopping with you!
Beautiful! Love the natural greens laid out so nicely and the pretty crystal trees. Your whole dining room looks very festive!
Thanks so much Liz!
Very elegant with all the greenery, lovely.
Thanks so much Carole!
I agree with Rita on the Leyland Cypress greenery Michelle…but your table is beautiful with all the Mercury glass and sprayed pinecones. I especially love the way your hutch is decorated too. Merry Christmas fellow blog hopper.
Thanks so much Kari! Merry Christmas to you too!
So serene and beautiful Michelle, the fresh greens paired with white and crystal is so elegant and I love the addition of the pine cones for another natural element. Just lovely!
Thanks so much Jenna!
Michelle, you make me dream on an enchanted forest! Love the mix within green & glass, it’s really charming! Bravo!
Michelle, what a perfectly gorgeous table! I love your use of the mercury glass trees and ornaments, it looks so magical. Your hutch is stunning, styled to perfection. It is always fun hopping with you! Merry Christmas
Michelle, Your mercury glass is beautiful! I love the Christmas trees on your fresh garland. I think using white dishes with different accents is a great idea for Christmas.
Your hutch looks spectacular! Very striking. I’m pinning.
Nice to blog hop with you. Have a Merry CHRISTMAS!
thawYou prove that setting a beautiful Christmas table does not require themed plates! Those trees are gorgeous and I can understand why once you spotted those you knew how you would style your table. Thank you so much for joining another hop and Merry Christmas!
Very very nice! <3
Mi è piaciuto il tuo modo di addobbare la casa con tutti i rami verdi e le candele, mi piace la tua tavola.
Vedrò di provare a copiare qualche idea, se riesco, per una delle feste di Natale e Fine/Inizio Anno, quando la famiglia si riunisce da me! 🙂
Ciao, Fior
Michelle, the mercury glass is gorgeous. I can see why you love it so. Using the fresh greenery is perfect. The hutch looks so pretty with it. Love your perfect little pinecones.
A lovely table to enjoy for the holidays.
Michelle, those mercury Christmas trees are stunning ~ a treasure to use for many years. I love all the greenery on the table and the hutch. The pine cones are a great focal point on each place setting. Happy Holidays.
I bet the greenery smells wonderful and it’s just perfect with this table and your hutch. Early in the season, I say the Mercury glass trees and now I wish I had bought them. And, yes those napkins are the bomb. Merry Christmas!
Michelle, I love it all — the table, centerpiece, decorated hutch and chandy too! Simple elegance with the mercury glass, white and fresh cedar. A marvelous combination! Wishing you a wonderful holiday season. Always a pleasure to blog hop with you.
Oh Michelle it is all absolutely stunning…so wintry! The table is so wonderful but your hutch!!!!!!!!!!! Cedar and candles and ironstone oh my!
I hope you will come over and link up at Thursday Favorite Things in the morning!
Merry Christmas!
Michelle, I love it all! Mercury glass is so pretty and I have collected only mercury glass candle holders. Those trees are quite a find. They are stunning. Your hutch is gorgeous all decked out in green and silver too! Spraying the pine cones silver was a great idea. I am with you when it comes to purchasing seasonal plates and have always gotten lucky at flea markets or auctions, but certainly don’t want to buy new every year. I find classic white is the best way to go!
Michelle, I’ve never seen mercury glass trees before! They make the perfect centerpiece for your holiday table. I just love the silver accents against the cedar branches. And the hutch looks very festive too. It’s so farmhouse Christmas! It’s been a pleasure hopping with you. Merry Christmas!
Your table and hutch are so beautifully decorated! I LOVE all the white and the green together. It is so serene and earthy. Where do you find that beautiful garland? Do you have cedar trees or do you buy it? Thank you for sharing such a beautiful Christmas home! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Hugs,

Thanks so much Tiffany! I got the garland from Lowe’s. My in-laws have cedar trees up at their place so next year I’m going to get some and try my hand at making my own garland. Thanks for stopping by and Merry Christmas to you and yours too!
Yay for white plates! I love Christmas themed plates, but I haven’t found any at flea markets as of yet. Holiday themed plates is just something I can’t bring myself to spend big money on at the stores when I’m only going to bring them out once a year.

Thanks Emma! I love white plates because they go with every holiday and season!
